In Holly’s defense, she never volunteered/agreed-to/signed(any binding contract) for homework/holiday-assignments…

Any NORMAL Kid (given the opportunity) would disappear in the blink of an eye if ever the words homework/holiday-assignments were uttered which would take up the other better-half of their day/time/holiday… it’s just unfortunate all kids are trapped in a classroom.

Yes, Holly, back up the truck and re-start the story (which we’ll have to wait until tomorrow).

beep…beep…beep…beep…

I don’t think so, Holly. Brat.

Students should know by now that there is software that searches the internet to locate stretches of identical text.Busted!

More compost!

Next time do it “right” and just find a friend at another school. :-/

Why not enjoy the strip for what it is, a Great Comic Strip.

In the last frame, Mom’s rolling the eyes as if to say, ’ I’ve heard this all before!’

Yes. It is.

It is a comic strip, but I hope there are serious consequences here. Poor Val, she is a hard working gal, she must be humuliated to death by such toally irresponsible behavior.

Holly should run for President of the U.S.A.! She has the concept of “political speak” down pat!

Yes it is.
